Inspired by Janus: Diety and Gate Keeper of Time, Transitions and New Beginnings. The two faces simultaneously study the past and peer into the future. With so many interpretations to explore I chose to incorporate veils and the mantilla to echo the symbolism and ceremony of great change. Mantillas are traditionally worn during funerals and weddings

Originally painted to reflect personal transformation...The current global situation adds poignant layers: both mourning and learning from the past while still looking forward with optimistism and curiosity. May this act as a prompt for reflection and a colorful to addition to your day!
